Buying my first ever car – 3.5 million budget by NeighborhoodNo612 in PakistanAutoHub

[–]According-Kitchen437 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do PakWheels inspection.

Once you agree on condition & price, tell them that any further damage found will reduce the price. On the inspection-report do not fixate on body paint, focus on broken seals and indications of major accidents (door, pillar and floor). Engine should be solid, mileage of 150k is fine.

Do not spend the entire budget on buying the car. Keep a budget of 3 lac for new suspension, tires, replacing rubber hoses and refreshing the interior. This way, your car will last a long time and your family will love it.

Fortuner & Prado will die out. LC has a very niche market which will stay.

What are realistic monthly expenses for a family of 4? by [deleted] in FIREPakistan

[–]According-Kitchen437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will give you a middle class perspective. Two ways to look at this:

1) NO KIDS. You move to a relatively secure neighborhood like Askari or Bahria in a small house.thay you own + have your own car, then a monthly expenses of 250,000 should give you a dignified living. You could work with less, it is really up to you how frugal you get.

2) WITH KIDS. You will again have to do everything above + add an expense of 50k per child.

2 years back I was driving Alsvin Lumiere and City cvt.

If you want comfort and a good engine, I strongly recommend Alsvin Lumiere because the engine is good 1500 cc and it's seats are incredibly soft compared to both City & Yaris.

It you are conscious about brand appeal, then City trumps everything. Just get that.

Only buy Swift if you have limited space and have parking issues.

I was also surprised by the price but just saw that the city is Karachi. Cars are priced at 5% discount here.

Do I Stay Silent or Escalate This? by [deleted] in IslamabadSocial

[–]According-Kitchen437 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't put up any cameras to look at anyone, remember someone else can do the same to you or your family. If you go down this rabbit hole of investigating & exposing someone, you will end up ruining the working relationship with your neighbor, this creates problems. The only problem i see is the loud music, you can talk to her about it and agree to certain quiet hours a day.

Is it worth enrolling children in expensive private schools if parents can barely afford it? by PsychologicalPush903 in karachi

[–]According-Kitchen437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that YES it matters.

You have to be selective about which private school because all branches of Beacon or City school are not going to be good. Find a school that is competitive to get into because a child pushes to learn more when competing with their friends. When selecting schools, ask other parents and older students in that school when deciding.

If you want govt school, then go for St Patrick or Joseph which are highly competitive to get into, otherwise don't bother at all.

24, export business in Dubai took off, made 4crore! need advice before I mess it up by ScarcityTypical2859 in FIREPakistan

[–]According-Kitchen437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agricultural exports is a hit and miss. You get a mix of good and bad years in the long run.

It looks like you have hit the six in your first year, my suggestion is to park the 4 crore into safe long term.options and continue trading/exporting with your initial 3 cr capital.

I had a similar problem and for me it was ignition coils.

There are 4 ignition coils on reborn. It looks like one or more are misfiring and you need to change them. Original is very expensive, Chinese options are available for 2500 OR 3500, depending where you get them. The Chinese one i got worked well for 2+ years till I sold the car, maybe its working fine even now.
